Hot for 2020 International Acts: Carlie Hanson

She’s toured with Troye Sivan and Yungblud and you may have heard of some of her cheerleaders (such as Taylor Swift). It’s a burgers-to-big time story for the singer, who was working at McDonalds prior to the release of her debut EP. Her confessional music blends pop and classic rock. Swift is an obvious touch-point, as are Maggie Rogers and queen of the genre Avril Lavigne. Anyway, she’s great.

Hear: ‘Back In My Arms’ is a big, swooning calling card.
